Some of these are crazy!! Get your bathing suit inspected by the police? Illegal for a man to scowl at his wife on Sunday? Crazy….
Lol. These are insane, and a bit odd. I always wonder why some of these cooky laws were ever created. At least they make for a good laugh.
For real? These laws are hilarious! Some of them make sense but the others will have you questioning why it’s a law in the first place. No matter, thanks for the laugh! Lol.
